For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

The more U learn about Stalin, the more U fear Hillary. She just fits the profile perfectly. The paranoia, the vindictiveness, the absolute power. She can't purge revolutionary heros because they're already dead, but she can make life miserable for anyone she fears, and that's just about everyone.

There will be food shortages under her, concentrated in Utah. There will be mass executions under a Hillaryified patriot act, mainly aimed at anyone who disagrees with her about anything.

Housing shortages? She'll make families who don't already own houses share communal apartments. Those who own houses will be subsidized. New construction will be stopped and the funds diverted to subsidizing debt.

Obviously, basic necessities will be hard to come by and dollars won't be worth anything. Those who think they still control their own destiny will be sorely disappointed under Hill.

Are you serious or are you joking? I honestly can't tell.

I don't buy into the demonization of this woman. It has the distinct odor of a manipulation campaign, and no doubt we haven't seen the end of it.

I'm aware of her shortcomings, and there are many. But the US under "Hill" couldn't possibly be any worse off than it's been under the Boy Emperor, that monstrous wastrel.

And at least she wants to extend some health care to uninsured blokes like me.

All that stated, I'd MUCH rather vote for Ron Paul. Now there's my idea of a candidate. But that chance won't come.

You forget that every year we move farther into the "post-Peak Oil" era. Just mix together exploding gas prices and food shortages and an economic depression and then add a paranoid and vengeful Hillary as president.

It's not Hillary I'd be afraid of then, Plantagenet. It's the people next door.

Hillary will also make you get gay married, and then have an abortion once you get pregnant. Even the men!

Heineken, I'm rather surprised that you like Ron Paul. I do, too, but we can't have another 4-8 years of inaction on global climate change. I was strongly considering voting for him, but I won't now that I've determined that climate change is the #1 issue. I'd think about registering Dem so I could vote for Edwards, but Oregon is utterly irrelevant when it comes to the primary, so I probably won't bother. Waste of time given our current electoral system.

I'm no fan of Hillary by any stretch of the imagination, but I doubt she could possibly be any worse than any of the front-running Republicans. But I still hope she loses. Her and Obama. And all the rest of them, too. Crying or Very sad

Loki, I don't think whoever becomes president will have a meaningful effect on the global-warming trajectory or any of the other dooms. I'm one of those who believe that the window of opportunity is now closed.

I also like Edwards. I think.

But really it's all a beauty contest. I don't think it makes any difference who's president anymore. The game is lost.

It doesn't, and I can guarantee with about 99.9% assuredness that the next president will be a "democrat," to give the impression that something changed.

Washington D.C. right now is like New Orleans after Katrina. Everything is being looted or sold off. Public lands, national parks, government funds, everything. We just haven't seen the politicians walking out with the chandeliers yet.

I think Hillary has a >50% chance of winning the presidency at this point. So what would like really be like under her iron-fisted reign? Business as usual? A massive improvement for the American middle class and a significant shift in foreign policy? She hands the keys over to our alien overlords?

I guess a lot will depend on what the geopolitical / energy situation is like in the 2009-2013 period. What say ye seers?

I agree we need a moderate, level headed Bush in power or someone like him anyhow.

G W Bush should declare a state of emergency Mushareff style change the constitution and stay as president as long as people "vote" for hime. On Diebold voting machines of course. (TM)

Now everybody go shopping already it's Christmas.

I hate Hillary too.

And Osama and Bin Laden.

We probably hate other people in common too, I think I might hate Hillary more than Osama because she could do so much damage to the US.

I say unlimited terms for G W Bush, he has done so much to improve Americas standing around the world and he removed "an evil dictator", "the butcher of Baghdad" from Iraq.

Whoever "wins" the presidency in 2008 will play the same role as the captain of the Titanic. I would think that if you hate Hillary then she would be your choice to take on the mantle of "worst president in US history". Because, IMO, that's how the next president will be remembered, regardless of who that person might be or what futile attempts are made to change events.

Heineken is correct in his understanding that it is too late to change the course of destruction on which we are heading.

Conventional wisdom has Hill winning, but she does have the highest 'no way in hell I'd vote for her' rating of any candidate in history. Historically it will be a Republican if it's one of the govenors, they've won almost all the elections against a senator for over 40 years. Southern

Because of Ron Paul, I'm going to do something I never thought I'd do. I'm going to vote for him in the Republican party primary in Texas. In Texas, you can vote in any party's primary but only one party's primary each election cycle.

I have NEVER voted for a Republican. I've only ever voted for Democrats or third parties. If I were to vote in the Democratic primary, I'd support Edwards. But I don't think Edwards has any real chance of getting the nomination. The other Democrats are way too interested in business interests over the people's will. What a sorry, sorry mess.

I think that helping Ron Paul rise in the polls or do respectably in the primaries is about the only way for the the electorate to show both the parties that we really want someone that talks about issues. I'm much more big government than Libertarian, but at least he admits things are broken.
